“We booked two drop on visits with Ashley and I am very happy with the level of care she had with us and our dogs. She was on time and took lots of pictures. Our dogs looks very comfortable with her. She always responded quickly in our messages. I would definitely book again!”
About: I was raised around dogs and I grew up walking and playing with dogs of many different breeds. As an adult, I enjoy spending time with pets. I'm a nature lover so I enjoy spending time outside. I'm available for overnight care on weekends and Friday evenings. I work during the day but in the evenings I am generally free most days. While my yard is not fenced, I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood and I have a few parks within walking distance of my house where dogs are welcome.
“Nicholas was awesome. He was able to look after Napoleon even with last minute plans. He arrived on time as promised, and followed directions. I would definitely use his services again.”
About: My family has always had dogs. I am more a dog person than I am a person type of person. I have a 6 year old Shih-Tzu and she is the cutest thing on four paws. I really enjoy teaching her new tricks and I would love to do the same with your pup when I meet them. I have a dog who I walk literally every day. Helping others out who can't get their dogs out for a walk would be my pleasure. I enjoy the fresh air and the time to step away from my computer and work. Also, I would love to do most of this work on the weekends which I have open availability during. I will not be boarding any pets. But if you hire me to check in on your pup I will follow any and every instruction you give. I understand that a stranger coming into their space is alarming for most dogs and I want to make sure they are comfortable with me. I would even love to meet your pup pre-hire so that they are familiar with me.
“Mirabella did a wonderful job checking in on our cats on short notice. She kept the dishes full, cleaned the boxes, and provided photos of the ones she managed to spot. Will book again!”
About: I am a wildlife biologist for the Georgia DNR working for the Urban Wildlife Program. I have years of experience dog-sitting, primarily for large- and medium-sized dogs in the Chicago area. My work schedule is very flexible, allowing me to take my time to care for your critters! A large part of my job is responding to wildlife emergencies using years of experience and best-judgment decision making, which makes for a great pet-sitter. I am a wildlife biologist that works from home in Decatur. My workload is quite low so it is easy to fit pet care into my schedule throughout the week. My flexible schedule affords me ample time to provide proper attention to animals. I have a calm demeanor with strong attention to detail when it comes to care instruction. My experience as a wildlife biologist has trained me how to monitor animals for emergencies and how to be calm in the face of the unknown or unexpected. I am used to following strict research protocol, so following along for the care of your animal will be a breeze.
“Kamron was great - very communicative and sent me timely updates on both kitties. Lots of pictures (which are always appreciated) and I could tell our friendlier cat was happy to spend time with them. Will definitely book with Kamron again in the future, if available!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and getting to hang out with a pup is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. I’m also an avid hiker, so if your dogs ever need some outdoor time, I’ll be sure they get it. I have experience with senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, high energy dogs, and more. 100% of my bookings will receive photos of their pets, and if my camera is working, I’ll leave behind a Polaroid of them as well! I work from home, so I am available to stay with your dog all day. I can take them outside for potty breaks, walks, or any other needs 24/7. I have a fenced in yard, and walking trails right next to my house. I also am available to stay over at your home and be with your dog 24/7.
About: Hi! My name is Shannon, and I'm located in the Decatur area and have a degree in Animal Science from Michigan State University. I have many years experience in caring for all different kinds of dogs, from small to large and young to elderly. I have dogs, and understand exactly what they need in order to be happy and healthy. I offer the services of staying overnight with your pup, dropping in as many times as necessary to take care of them, and dog walking. Cats and other animals are welcome too! I like to send lots of pictures and videos to the owner and give them recent updates about their pet. I am flexible with my schedule and am willing to provide your pooch with whatever they need! Please leave me a message telling me what you're looking for and the dates, or how frequently you'd like these services. I look forward to sitting your furry friends! :) I’m currently working remotely so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I’m able to make my own hours, so with a heads up I can work around any petsitting. I care for pets in whatever way they need me to. If there’s a pet that’s happiest running around and playing then we can do that! Or if they’re a snuggle bug I’ll make sure to cuddle with them as long as they want. I always keep the home as clean as when you left it.
About: I am a homemaker at heart, so I take pride in maintaining my home and all that's inside, including pets! I've lived my entire young life with a pet dog, so I know how much love, care, and attention that goes into taking care of our little ones. I've had a puppy, and I've had a senior dog, so my range of pet care is broad! I also have experience upkeeping and maintaining businesses and homes for those who require housesitting services! I'm currently a middle school English teacher, so I'm free in the afternoons and evenings to care for your little guys! I wake up pretty early, so early morning walks aren't an issue either. My availability is from 4 pm- 10 pm, unless it's an overnight stay! I can also do early morning walks (5 am) if the furry friend is in my area! I live in a quiet area with two fur-loving roommates! We have lots of indoor and outdoor space for pets to roam around and get fresh air.
About: I’m a dependable caregiver who takes pride in providing safe, structured, and loving care. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and comfort, and I’m always gentle and respectful with every animal I meet. You can count on me for punctuality, clear updates, and a calm presence that helps pets feel secure while you’re away. As a dog lover and owner, I possess expertise in pet care. I volunteer in an animal hospital called Columbia Belvedere Animal Hospital, where I shadow the vet and perform other tasks like water, walking , bathing, administering medicine, cleaning , and assisting with front desk work. I am home throughout the entire week and ready to take care of your amazing pet. I am available whenever you need me. I am very excited to be your dog's caretaker. I make pet care a natural part of my weekly routine. I’m already used to structuring my days around responsibility, so adding walks, feedings, playtime, and check‑ins fits smoothly into my schedule. I plan ahead, stay organized, and make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon drop‑ins, or weekend stays, I’m able to give pets the time, patience, and energy they need to feel comfortable and cared for. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress‑free as possible. I follow all instructions exactly feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any house rules you have in place. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and calm companionship. I keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have 8 years worth of experience working as a kennel attendant at a Veterinary Hospital where I did everything from feeding, walking, and having playtime with pets to bathing, administering meds, and creating detailed report cards with pictures for owners. I was raised by a veterinary technician, and have had both cats and dogs throughout my life. I have also volunteered at rescue shelters, and I am the go-to sitter for my friends and family! I am so excited about meeting your fur baby, and glad to help out in any way that I can! I am currently working from home, and I am a freelance musician, artist, and photographer. So, I make my own hours. I am fexlible, and would love to talk about your schedule (: I usually sit down and have a conversation where we discuss what routine would be the best for you and your pet. I take detailed notes, and do a meet and greet to make sure I am a good fit for your pet, and to make sure they are comfortable around me. I will do my absolute best to accommodate all of your needs, and treat your baby like my own! 🐾
About: I have experience caring for my own dog as well as pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding routines, crate training, and providing a calm, structured environment for dogs of all sizes. I am a teacher so I am currently on summer break. This means I have a very open schedule to provide pet services. Inbox me to learn more! I have both a front and back yard, but they are not fenced, so all dogs are always safely supervised and kept on a leash while outside. Inside, I provide a clean, calm, and comfortable environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. Max is my friendly, well-socialized rescue dog who loves meeting and playing with other dogs. He’s gentle, adaptable, and does well with different personalities and energy levels.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Snapfinger
I was in a bind where I needed a pet sitter for an unexpected situation and my flight was leaving in a few hours. Then in came Marc. I knew Marc was going to be a good pet sitter when he met my 2 rabbits. I keep my 2 rabbits separated because they are both males and the one picks on the other and bullies him. So when I introduced Marc to my 2 boys I put them together to see what Marc would do. Sure enough my one buck started picking on my other rabbit and started humping his head. Marc responded calmly by noticing the interaction and calmly separating them without me saying a word. After that I knew my boys would be in good hands. While I was away, my one pet was a bad boy and knocked over the Christmas tree and got into the trash. Marc thought nothing of it and responded with the upmost expertise. Marc grew up on a farm and you can tell he has years of experience with all types of animals. I would recommend Marc to take care of you dog, cat, rabbit, horses, or ANY other pet you may have.
Ivanis was amazing. She took the best pictures and video of the kitty. She was on time and stayed with him for the entire drop in time.! I tend to leave a lot of instructions and most of them were followed to the letter. Will definitely be the first person I ask for help whenever we need it!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Snapfinger is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $20 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 6,748 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Snapfinger. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Snapfinger. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
